Very helpful but not for everyone **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2017 **What do you like best about Frank?** Fair prices, great technical support and above all its customization capabilities. On top of that the design is very intuitive and frankly, as good as it gets. **What do you dislike about Frank?** Make sure to request a demo before diving in. It's certainly not for architectural practices of all dimensions... **Recommendations to others considering Frank:** Give it a try. It's the best of its sort in the market on some aspects. **What problems is Frank solving and how is that benefiting you?** Marketing and business development above all although we're considering using it at Human Resources. Our databases were a nightmare but not anymore. ### 2. Simple & Powerful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juan Pablo A. | Arquitecto / Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2017 **What do you like best about Frank?** Very powerful tool to manage my projects. It gives me the ability to gather all the relevant information and have it one single platform, from the coordination of tasks and communications with the client and the team, to the financial follow up available anywhere all the time. The project dashboard and reports module provide information about the performance of the project in real time with just a few clicks. **What do you dislike about Frank?** The search engine. When you have multiple projects it is sometimes not easy to find the one you are looking for using the search bar. I also think it has the potential to include an Account management section to allow for a quick follow up of a client rather than only a single project. **Recommendations to others considering Frank:** Take a little time to surf through the features and think of what would be the easiest way to organize your project in order to easily visualize the information that you value most for the performance review. **What problems is Frank solving and how is that benefiting you?** Project Management and Account Management. ### 3. All in one Managment Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maria Belen R. | Project Manager, Architecture & Planning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2017 **What do you like best about Frank?** The best aspect of Frank Collaboration is to have all project aspects together on the same site. It makes your journey so much easier as you can manage the communication with your client, the files transfers, the financial aspects all in the same website. When you have many projects to manage this is a reliable platform that allows you not to leave unattended items. You can also track the time that you and your team take to develop each task and deliverable, **What do you dislike about Frank?** On the "Gallery" it would be nice to be able to create some sub-folders to get the marketing information more organized. Other than that, is great to have the chance to create a Public Portfolio to promote our company projects. **What problems is Frank solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a huge challenge to track hours of each project and make sure they have the expected profits. It is very helpful the BI section and the Reports section that Frank offers to quickly understand the project health. ### 4.
